Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">out of practice</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rusty that I've seen before include "Oxidised, corroded" , "Reddish," , "(Of iron) corroded" , "affected by inactivity" , "Having a reddish-orange oxide coating" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Sunday Times, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, the USA Today, The Telegraph, The Independent, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, the Newsday and the Universal.
